Creator status

[Manda]

Hi everyone!

I see how  Zazzle keeps improving the connection between  creators and customers. I was thinking that it would be cool to have an option allowing the creator to set online / offline status. This way,if a customer need some help editing a design, he/she can talk with the seller at that moment.   Thoughts?

Best regards,

Stephanie

Hi @Manda,

I'll be forwarding this suggestion to our Team now.

Thanks!

Only if we can manually change it from Online to Offline while being on the site (designing, that is).

That reminds me of 1994 when AOL(hedoublehockeysticks) had AOL buddy (I thiink it was called) and every time I signed on to the internet to do some work, I would get interrupted by various people just wanting to talk, and talk. Finally I went into hidden mode (going from memory here) to keep my sanity.
I do not want to wade into that swamp again, ever.
I agree, manually turning it from online to offline, would be great. That way I could reply to messages when I am available but not working on products.

I really don't want that. I have no desire for anyone to be able to monitor whether I am on- or off-line. I truly don't want a customer waiting for me. I could be working on another project or just not feel well enough to deal with them. I hope that Zazzle will continue to respect my privacy.

Count me OUT.  I don't want that either.  No way, no how.

@WittyBetty Yes,only if the creator can choose the status.It can only be the online option.so everyone can decide if they want to chat or not.

This just isn't necessary. I don't even want to go near this can of worms. I am so tired of dealing with shipping questions right now. This whole customer service thing is wearing very thin. Nothing in this realm is optional.
